thats really helpfull im really likein argo.

my snake is a male

right now, its between atlis, argo, or Heracles.

hey, i was wondering if anyone knew the story of how atlis held the earts, and he sat upon a dragon, witch was on a turtle, witsh was on a snake ( or something like that not shure how the story goes) but what was the snakes name?

Stories differ, but the "snake" is probably the serpent (some stories call him a dragon) "Ladon" that guarded Hesperides' garden and had to be destroyed before Atlas could obtain the golden apples from the "tree of life," that Heracles needed to perform one of his "labors". Heracles held up the earth while Atlas retrieved them.
I am unaware of another snake in that story.
